But whose position would you rather be in right now, Trump's or Biden's?

Biden's, obviously. Last time around, Trump hit a behind-the-back, blindfolded, four-rail billiards shot. It's not going to happen again. We've got this, we're going to win. This isn't the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl, when they blew a 28-3 lead. This isn't even the 1972 Olympics when the Soviet Union beat the United States in the gold medal basketball game when they were given three chances to score on the final play (The silver medals remain unclaimed, the U.S. has never accepted second place) thanks to some curious officiating.

It's almost un-American to say it, but be patient. Console yourselves by thinking about the prolonged agony Trump and his supporters have to endure. They know they're going to lose, but not yet. Not yet. Not yet. Nope, not quite yet. Not yet. Not yet . . .
